How to open directions

The Roadtrippers app does notoffer in-app directions or turn-by-turn navigation. However, Roadtrippers does offer easy access to directions to every place or trip waypoint.

For iOS users

The iOS Roadtrippers app supports directions in three navigation apps - Apple Maps, Google Maps, and Waze. Please be sure Google Maps and Waze are installed on your device to use them (Apple Maps is installed by default on iPhones).

For Android users

The Android Roadtrippers app supports directions in any navigation or map app installed on the device. Available apps will appear in a prompt when tapping or swiping to open directions.

Opening Directions iOS

With a trip loaded on the map, open the Trip Planner by tapping the green trip name layer above the Map and Trip Guide tabs. You should now see a list of places. Simply tap the waypoint you wish to navigate to. You will find the option to remove place from trip, add a note, add dates or Navigate! If a default navigation app has been selected in your settings (Apple maps, Google maps, Waze), it will automatically open and load navigation to the stop. If a default has not been chosen, a list of available apps will appear to select from.

Once open, tap on the place you wish to Navigate to.

And lastly, tap the Navigate button.

Users can also open directions via a place page. Simply open up a place page, and tap the Navigate button.

*Keep in mind that because directions and navigation is provided from a separate app, directions can only be given for one waypoint at a time AND your route will completely depend on how that app provides directions. So even if you synced a trip that uses only byways, your navigation app will provide directions however it's made to calculate them.*
